In [another post](/2022/11/22/sensor_watch.html) I talked about the [Sensor Watch](https://www.oddlyspecificobjects.com/products/sensorwatch/) project which has this nifty JS simulation for testing the firmware. This saves you having to dissasemble the watch every time you want to test a change to the firmware so makes the develop/test loop much faster. Here I'll go through a toy example of how that works.

### Raytracing
|
||||
|
||||
We see physical objects when photons from sources of light travel along some path, possibly bouncing and scattering along the way before entering our eyes and forming an image on our retinas.

<img class = "invertable" src="{{page.assets}}/ray_tracing.png" alt="A hand drawn diagram showing how actual light goes from a source like the sun, bounces off an object and then hits your retina. With ray traving we instead shoot rays out of of the retina towards objects and often ignore light sources entirely.">
|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
|
||||
Raytracing is a method for rendering images that does this in reverse, for each pixel in the image we shoot a light ray out of a point at a different angle. By calculating what that ray intersects with we can decide how to colour that pixel.

The Schwarzchild metric is $$ds^2 = (1 - \tfrac{r_s}{r}) dt^2 - (1 - \tfrac{r_s}{r})^{-1} dr^2 - r^2 d\theta^2 - r^2 sin^2 \theta d\phi^2$$

The Schwarzchild metric is

Where $r,\phi,\theta$ are our spherical polar coordinates and $r_s$ is the radius of the event horizon which we will mostly set to 1 for what followds. However it\'s useful to leave it in the numerics because $r_s = 0$ corresponds to the flat spacetime. This is also a useful way to debug your code, when $r_s = 0$$r_s = 0$ all your geodesics should be straight and you can do normal geometry on them.

$$ ds^2 = (1 - \tfrac{r_s}{r}) dt^2 - (1 - \tfrac{r_s}{r})^{-1} dr^2 - r^2 d\theta^2 - r^2 sin^2 \theta d\phi^2 $$
|

||||
Prove that for a photon travelling through the Schwarzchild metric in the $\theta = \pi / 2$ plane, we can eliminate $t$ in the geodesic equation to arrive at a differential equation for $r(\phi)$:

### Answer for 2
|
||||
|
||||
i\) Introduce a new variable $v = \dot{u}$ so $\dot{v} = \ddot{u}$, this seems a little too obvious but now we have two first order equations! $$v = \dot{u}$$ $$\dot{v} = -u (1 - \tfrac{3}{2} r_s u)$$

|
||||
|
||||
ii\) From the docs for `solve_ivp` we see that it can integrate equations of the form $\tfrac{dy}{dt} = f(t, y)$ with initial conditions $y(t_0) = y_0$ but crucially y can be of any dimension, so the trick is to write out coupled equations in a vector form, if we define: $$\vec{y} = (y_0, y_1) = (\dot{u}, u)$$ then we can write: $$\dot{y} = (\ddot{u}, \dot{u}) = (-y_1(1 - 3/2\; r_s y_1), y_0)$$

||||

### Question 4

|

i\) Note that the point $u = 0$ corresponds to $r = \infty$, so it makes sense to stop the simulation at $u = 0$ because physically it means the photon has completely escaped the black hole and has shot off into space. Search the docs for `solve_ivp` for a way to implement this early stopping. If you don\'t do this you will notice spurious solutions later where $u$ has gone past 0 to small negative values. You\'ll notice that you actually get some spurious solutions anway when u gets very small so instead of stopping the simulation at $u = 0$ stop it at some large value like $r = 100$ (Don\'t forget $r = 1/u$).

<img src="{{page.assets}}/final.png" alt="A render of the earth as a sphere. The columns show different angles and the top row shows flat spacetime while the bottom shows curved spacetime. In the curved spacetime, the earth appears bigger because the range of angles we can look in and see it increases. It alsp appears distorted at the edges because when we look at the 'surface' at a glancing angle we actually see many times around the object.">

And just for kicks here an animated gif of the earth spinning with this weird spacetime distortion. The north and south poles are fully visible and spin oddly about their axis while areas we just should not be able to see 'swim' around them.
